Prosiect Slyri - Slurry Project Wales

Prosiect Slyri Slurry Project in Wales, UK looks to reduce farm waste and address the agricultural industry's impact on the environment by developing a dewatering and purification system to manage slurry on farms. With the intensification of the dairy industry, slurry management is becoming an increasing issue for farmers. Driving the project are Coleg Sir Gâr’s Gelli Aur agricultural campus and Power & Water, a Swansea based company specialising in electrochemical-based water treatments. Project received funding through the Welsh Government and applies innovative and proven concept technology to reduce air and water pollution to reduce the overall volume of slurry by up to 80%. A de-watering and purification system is used to filter slurry, transforming the water to a suitable quality for recycling or discharging to a clean watercourse while utilising nutrients to produce good quality fertilizer. This process will reduce storage of slurry on farms as well as handling costs. Efficiently extracting nutrients from manures could save on the cost of commercial fertilizers and reduce serious environmental impact. The project aims to design, develop and validate economically viable systems that will be made available commercially and used on farms.
